EcoLine

For tomorrow's world! In line with our mission to give a little bit back to the environment every day, we have continued our long-term environmental values at product level ever since the launch of the edding EcoLine range. In addition to the edding EcoLine highlighter with the cap and barrel made from at least 90% renewable resource, the range also features permanent, whiteboard and flipchart markers where at least 90% of the total plastic used is made from recycled material.

The edding 24 EcoLine highlighter

The first of its kind to be awarded the Blue Angel ecolabel.

Anyone trying to find new ways of looking after the environment will often find that the solutions come from nature itself. Here at edding, we’ve worked hard to develop the most eco-friendly product in its category. The result is our edding 24 EcoLine highlighter series, made predominantly from renewable resources such as sugar cane. We’ve been rewarded for our efforts as we have now been awarded the Blue Angel ecolabel – a first for highlighters everywhere!

Holders of the Blue Angel, Germany’s leading ecolabel for products and services, have every reason to feel proud as it is only awarded to manufacturers who genuinely care deeply about protecting resources, the environment and health.

A winner – of the Green Brands award!

On 13th November 2017, the Green Brands Germany award was presented by international brand marketing organisation GREEN BRANDS to a total of 38 different brands. One of these was edding’s EcoLine series. What’s more, as this was the second time we’ve been honoured as a “green brand”, our Green Brand seal now also bears one star. The award honours ecologically sustainable brands that reflect the nation’s increasing awareness of the need to be more sustainable, protect the environment and lead a healthy lifestyle. Green Brands recognises a brand’s commitment to climate protection, sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Environmental awareness. Even in the office!

Market research shows that over 80% of consumers place great importance on companies dealing with raw materials responsibly. That’s exactly what we think. When it comes to protecting resources and preserving our environment, our edding EcoLine in particular shows how we want to be visionaries in the truest sense of the word. That’s why we are always consistent in our use of recycled materials and renewable resources for the EcoLine range.

We can’t change the world overnight, but we strongly believe that our day-to-day work is just one way of making an active contribution, however small, to a sustainable way of thinking in keeping with our times.

Making new things from old. With post-consumer recycling.

Thanks to continuous research and development, we are now successfully using post-consumer recycled material in our products. This means that empty yoghurt pots, old watering cans and discarded plastic buckets can be turned into new raw materials for use in the products we make. Post-consumer plastics are obtained from plastic waste recovered from households or industry, for example.

The permanent, whiteboard and flipchart markers in our EcoLine range are made from 83% post-consumer plastics – which means they are made from 90% recycled material in total. As well as using sustainable materials, edding is also reducing its production of virgin material.

Green all over. Even the packaging!

The concept of using raw materials responsibly is put into practice at every stage of our operations – from production right through to the finished markers and the consistent use of sustainably designed packaging, which is totally plastic-free. All EcoLine sales packaging is 100% cardboard, including sets and blister packs.

For the sake of the environment, we’re saving 83 tonnes of CO2!

Thanks to edding's sustainable use of post-consumer plastics, we're recycling plastic waste and significantly reducing our production of new material, thereby saving up to 83 tonnes of carbon emissions every year!

This amount of CO2 would be enough for a car to travel around the world 10 times!
